How to promote learning in the early years?

 

Activating the brain from the early childhood
Conclusive neuroscience studies state that 90% of brain growth occurs before the age of 5. At this stage, the brain grows, develops and goes through sensitive periods for different learning processes, so it is very important to provide the youngest children with an environment with meaningful experiences, multisensory stimuli and adequate physical resources, as mentioned by Anna Luisa Campos in her book "Early Childhood: A look from Neuroeducation".

Taking these contributions into account, at the Early Years level of Colegio Peruano Británico we have prepared a pedagogical proposal to help each of our children, from 3 to 5 years old, to discover and develop their skills and abilities to the maximum in this first stage of school.

1.Your children will learn to think creatively. Through the International Early Years Curriculum, they will learn to solve problems, develop their curiosity and boost their confidence.

 

2.They will be immersed in the English language. With the support of the Jolly Phonics methodology, they will be immersed in the use of the English language and we will guarantee their progressive learning through multisensory activities.

 

3.They will develop their talents in a personalised way. We will respect their learning pace, encouraging their interest and exploration of the world around them and developing their autonomy, while making them aware of their achievements.

4.They will form their first bonds and develop a sense of community. They will become part of a community that will encourage them to form their first friendships with the support of the Creer emotional education programme. We will focus on developing their socio-emotional skills and instilling values for healthy coexistence.

 

5.They will grow up in a safe environment. They will grow up in a safe environment that will awaken their love of learning.

Facilities that promote skills development

To complement our pedagogical approach, we have an infrastructure specially designed for Early Years.
Our classrooms, psychomotor development, art and sports rooms are equipped for the provision of school and extracurricular activities. In addition, our Playground, has games that have been designed so that creativity and motor skills can continue to be developed during recreation and socialising. We also have a modern library for our children to enjoy and develop the habit of reading from an early age.

Specialised staff

We seek to accompany each of our students closely in their learning process. To this end, we have two bilingual teachers in each classroom, teachers specialising in psychomotor skills, martial arts, music, and dance, and the continuous support of the psycho-pedagogical department.

 

Being part of the world's largest family of premium schools provides our students with a range of programmes, partnerships, exchanges and activities that will enrich their experience throughout their school life, and our teachers with the opportunity to train through Nord Anglia University and share best practice in early years teaching with 81 top schools globally.

As the teacher and psychologist Dr. Haim Ginott said, "Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression”.

We, at Colegio Peruano Británico, are proud of the mark we leave on each and every one of our students. For this reason, we continue to improve and innovate to offer an even better service. We hope that the fruits of this effort will be reflected in the next generation that will lead our country.
